The Distance of Divinity

As soon as he says Jesus is one of us, he must qualify it lest we in the sharing somehow diminish who he is as God.  So he says Jesus is human, adding he has all our traits save sin.  He died, but it was for us that he did it.  He sorrowed, but it was as an example for us and if he was angry it was a righteous indignation.  It would be OK to say Jesus is like us and to leave it at that.  To say he shares our life by his living.  There is no need to protect him from us, from the humanness of us all.  Maybe he is instead protecting us.  Maybe in the marking of distinctions he is really preventing our being lost in the distance of divinity.
